I am trying to achieve the following on Kibana: I would like to plot two plots on the same graph with the following data structures

A:  
"\_source": {  
"@timestamp": "2017-05-21T05:14:36.277",  
"topic\_name": "/topic\_A",  
"data": {  
"pose":1  
}  
}

B:  
"\_source": {  
"@timestamp": "2017-05-21T05:14:36.277",  
"topic\_name": "/topic\_B",  
"data": {  
"pose":2  
}  
}  
I would like to plot A and B on the same graph. So I first perform the search on the search bar with:

topic\_name:topic\_A OR topic\_name:topic\_B

It shows one set of data which is an union of these two sets but I would like to plot A vs timestamp & B vs timestamp (two plots) on the same graph. I try to use the JSON Input feature ([JSON Input for Kibana charts](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/json-input-for-kibana-charts/290)) but couldn't get it to work. So I am wondering what are the ways to achieving this without changing the data structure. Thanks!

What are you looking for in the visualization? Are you interested in comparing `data.pose` for each topic\_name? If so, you can split the chart on the significant terms for `topic_name`, charting pose. Or, it's possible to do with Timelion and include both points.

Hi Tyler. I am trying to do a split chart (add a new x-axis) and use significant term as aggregation but then all the data got merged into one point and the x-axis is now two fields : [topic\_A, topic\_B].
